Memorable server Mic delivering stuffed flounder

We were walking along the river and randomly stopped here for dinner...we got a seat on the outdoor deck, so we could hear the jazz down below...food was typical for the area, I had the salmon over grits which was a nice change from shrimp and grits, although the salmon was a little bit overcooked and thus dry (but collards and good grits mostly compensated)...the highlight was our server Mic - who was attentive, entertaining and directed us to a nice dessert bar for afterwards...thanks Mic!

Crab legs, crawfish

We LOVED this place!! We were on a mission to find all the dog friendly places and this place did not disappoint. You can sit inside or outside with pups. We sat outside but it got chilly, so they quickly let us go inside. An older couple was annoyed that we had dogs and so the staff moved them to another table and apologized to US! As an owner with well behaved dogs I am always so appreciative to be felt like we aren't doing anything wrong. I even told them we can go back outside and they said absolutely not, you're not the problem!! Thank you guys! Now the food!! Also so good, I definitely got my mud bug fix here :) I highly recommend this place!

Quick and friendly bartenders. Oysters were fresh and delicious! Refreshing cocktail in a laid back atmosphere after meetings during a conference.

The restaurant has a great ambiance but the food was underwhelming. Our waiter was not that knowledgeable and we asked not to bring everything at once (we wanted oysters first before hot food) but hot food came first before oysters. We ordered a half dozen of house oysters plus mookimoto oysters, clam chowder, fried pickles and crap dip. The small mookimoto oysters were good and the clam chowder was pretty good. The fried pickles were super salty and the crab dip was really cheese dip....not much crab. It looked like nachos. This was not what we expected and was not great. Overall we were disappointed with the restaurant.

We met with some unfortunate and unexpected hurricane weather on our trip to Savannah. Being from the south I wanted to show my Oregon companion what southern hospitality was really like, Fiddlers lived up to expectations. They welcomed us in from the rain with no reservation , were courteous and friendly. We enjoyed libations along with a few choice appetizers and had a delightful time. The oysters were very fresh and tasty, being a wine drinker I never thought ice cold beer could be so satisfying but they proved that correct, and the gator bites were a wonderfully delightful surprise! We can't wait to visit again and try more items on the menu and enjoy more of the wonderful views from their terrace seating.

This place was cute- i wish we got a table upstairs so we could look out to the river. Basic fried food, everything tasted the same. It was decent but my favorite were the gator bites and crab dip.

My parents and I stopped into Fiddlers Crab House looking for some good seafood meals as we were staying at a nearby hotel. Upon walking in we noticed that they had reserve signs on just about ever table and basically the only thing open was the bar. Fortunately a waitress quickly came over and yanked a sign off a table we were near and she said we could sit. She came back with menus and took our drink order. We noticed others were coming in looking at the reserved signs and seemed confused like us but they were all assured they could go ahead and sit as well. It took a little while for our drinks to arrive and our waitress to come back but I think it was due to an influx of guests and maybe not enough staff at the time. Being from Maryland we love anything to do with blue crab and find it hard to get good crab cakes or crab items outside of Maryland. So when we saw Fried Blue Crab claw appetizer we had to try it. Unfortunately we were let down again. These were the tiniest claws I have ever seen. My Shrimp Po'boy was good. The shrimp were delicious and the roll was tasty. Mom enjoyed her fried oysters and shrimp but dad gambled and lost on the crab stuffed flounder. He said he couldn't taste any crab. Overall it's a nice little spot to grab a meal.

Fiddlers is on the riverfront. We were trying to kill time waiting for our riverboat so we hopped in here. We sat out on the upper deck. Ordered the gator bites which were yummy. Nice fried outer crust and now we can say we've had alligator tail. Rock crab claws were offered and I'm always up for some crab. Never tried this kind before. You have to hit them with a spoon to break the shell. It is so hard. (Hence..the name rock!) the waiter had to show me how. Very tasty meat inside. Wish they would give you a seafood pick to get it out easier. I also had a few steamed clams. You order them by the single. 2.50 each. ( I've never done that before. I'm from the PNW and we get the by the lb). We enjoyed our lunch very much

Gator bites

Fiddler's is located on the riverfront/River Street. We came for lunch around 1:30, and were seated immediately. Balcony seating is available but it was a 15 minute wait and we didn't care if we ate inside or out. The decor is seafood and sailor oriented. The bricks walls showed the age of the building, which was cool. The sweet tea was good. We ordered gator bites for our appetizer. They were delicious, the breading was really tasty and the dipping sauce was so good. For our entrees, my husband got a shrimp po'boy with fries, and I got a crabcake sandwich with potato salad. We tried each other's sandwiches and we both really liked both of them. The potato salad was creamy and flavorful. I would highly recommend Fiddler's for a riverfront lunch!

Fiddler's is a classic restaurant near the Riverwalk in Savannah and I was excited to try it. When we first walked in we were greeted right away and made to feel very welcome which gave us a great first impression. Unfortunately things kind of went downhill after that. Our waitress took quite a while to refill our waters and the service felt a little slow overall. I ordered the mahi tacos and they came out cold like they may have been prepared too early and sat while the rest of our party's food was being finished. We did have a group of 8 so maybe that played a part but it was still disappointing. The mahi tacos were okay 5.8/10.

Seafood Platter
Suzanne S.

We were seated immediately outside and it was a fabulous view. The night was beautiful and the atmosphere was amazing. For apps we got oysters on the half shell that were delicious, the blue crab quesadillas and steamed crawfish. For main entrees we got the seafood platter and the low country boil. All the food was delicious and service was fast and friendly. For dessert we got the key lime pie and the peach cobbler both are delicious!! A great place to go and enjoy the evening in River street.

I was looking for some good seafood went in the south. This place had a welcoming hostess outside with a five dollar coupon. The menu looked pretty good so I thought why not. The crab legs were 1 pound for marketplace, which was $50. I thought that was a little steep as you can get a seafood boil for much less but this is a tourist town. I must say the crab legs or some of the best, sweetest and non-fishy smell I've had in a long time. The bartender took our order, even though all of the tables were closed, and they only had outdoor and upper deck Seating. The special was red snapper, and it was pretty good. The calamari was kind of small and very thinly sliced didn't taste much like calamari at all. The dessert however, knocked it out of the park.

Beautiful spot, if you're looking for great river views and a pet-friendly place to enjoy a drink…read moreand some food. The outdoor patio is beautiful, surrounded by lemon and olive trees, with a center bar and large windows facing the river. There's a mix of lounge seating and tables for both small and larger groups, so it has a really nice, relaxed atmosphere. We ordered a few plates to share, including the grilled cabbage which was an unexpected favorite lots of flavor and surprisingly delicious. We also tried the Peruvian ceviche with plantain chips, tuna tostada, and burrata and tomato salad. Everything was fresh and worked really well for sharing while enjoying a few cocktails. Between the food, drinks, beautiful patio, and river views, this was a really enjoyable stop. And having our dog with us made it even better!

Phenomenal brunch spot. From the service to the food, everything was great!…read more We initially wanted to sit outside but it was extremely hot. Some of the seating arrangements aren't covered so we opted for dining inside instead. The brunch provided a sharing board, entree, dessert tower, and optional add on unlimited mimosas. I wanted to do the Bellini initially however, they didn't have an unlimited option. There was live singing as well during the brunch hours. This is the perfect spot to have brunch when you're in Savannah!

We had such a wonderful experience, and Mike was an amazing waiter! He was incredibly knowledgeable…read moreand informative, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. I have a dairy allergy, and Mike went above and beyond to help me understand the ingredients in the different dishes and make sure I could order something I felt comfortable with. That level of attentiveness made such a difference. And the food was incredible! This was honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Between the delicious food and the exceptional service from Mike, we had such a great experience. We will absolutely be back!

I have been hearing wonderful things about Darling's Oyster Bar since it opened near City Market…read morebut hadn't had a chance to check it out. It's right in the heart of downtown off Congress Street and across from the Rail Pub. There is street parking, but being downtown, it can definitely be limited. I finally stopped in after dinner hours around 7pm on Friday. Since it was date night we ordered the raw tower, which comes stacked with everything under the sun: oysters, shrimp, snow crab, lobster and mussels. I also ordered scallops and asked if it could be prepared without butter because of my dairy allergy. The kitchen has no problem making them with olive oil instead. Super delicious! I enjoyed it so much that I came back the following weekend with friends. I made reservations online during happy hour (4-6pm) and we were lucky enough to be seated in the small back dining room tucked away behind the bar. Our server was wonderful and very attentive, and I especially appreciated that she actually paid attention to the allergy notes I included with my reservations. Of course we all ordered a dozen oysters each because they're $1 during happy hour and who can beat that? I ordered the scallops again because I liked them so much the first time, and around the table we had a mixture of lobster, mussels, dressed oysters, turtle cheesecake, finishing everything off with espresso martinis. Hands down delicious. The service was top-tier too. Our server never hovered, but somehow always checked on us at just the right time and made sure we had everything we needed. Two great visits so far and I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu.
